《Work Song》歌词

[00:00:00] Work Song - Oscar Brown, Jr.

[00:00:01] Breaking up big rocks on the chain gang

[00:00:04] Breaking rocks and serving my time

[00:00:08] Breaking rocks out here on the chain gang

[00:00:11] 'Cause they convicted me of crime

[00:00:14] Hold it steady right there while I hit it

[00:00:18] Well reckon that ought to get it

[00:00:20] Been workin' and workin'

[00:00:23] But I still got so terribly long to go

[00:00:28] I committed crime

[00:00:29] Lord I needed

[00:00:31] Crime of bein' hungry and poor

[00:00:34] I left the grocery store man bleeding

[00:00:38] When they caught me robbin' his store

[00:00:41] Hold it steady right there while I hit it

[00:00:45] Well reckon that ought to get it

[00:00:47] Been workin' and workin'

[00:00:50] But I still got so terribly long to go

[00:00:55] And judges say five years hard labor

[00:00:58] On chain-gang you gonna go

[00:01:01] I heard the judge say five years labor

[00:01:05] I heard my old man scream

[00:01:06] Lordy no

[00:01:08] Hold it steady right there while I hit it

[00:01:12] Well reckon that ought to get it

[00:01:14] Been workin' and workin'

[00:01:17] But I still got so terribly long to go

[00:01:49] I wanna see my sweet honey baby

[00:01:53] I wanna break this chain off to run

[00:01:56] I wanna lay down somewhere shady

[00:02:00] Lord I sure it's hot in the sun

[00:02:03] Hold it right there while I hit it

[00:02:07] Well reckon that ought to get it

[00:02:09] Been workin' and workin'

[00:02:12] But I still got so terribly long to go

[00:02:17] Breaking up big rocks on the chain gang

[00:02:25] Breaking rocks and serving my time
